Here is my recommendation for dealing with Annie. Whenever we see anything about her we should hold her accountable for her actual beliefs. Annie truly believes that:

a Jewish Zombie who is his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and drink his blood while telepathically telling him that you accept him as your master so that he can remove an evil force from your soul which is present in humanity because a woman made out of one rib bone and a mound of dirt was tricked into eating fruit from a magical tree by a talking snake

She is so totally convinced of this that she gladly hands over the full control of her life and death to this deity and its church even though it is based on the flimsiest evidence possible (none at all) and the most contradictory logic ever (Christian double-talk). What Annie and her religious friends really want is for everyone to be the servants, slaves, funders and protectors of her religion. Otherwise they go to hell. Sound familiar like Mafia talk?

booklover, some people really bring out the violence in many of us, I suspect. I am on the verge now of not watching any more news or comment TV. Mostly it is one side or the other bla bla bla-ing their p.o.v., and then the other side bla bla blas their p.o.v. and I am sick of screaming at my TV set.

I think of Coulter as a clown who has to do and say the most outrageous things that come to mind in order to garner attention and $$$ via books, interviews, and speaking. I think lately she's been eclipsed by other clowns with similar mode of action. She's a lot like Colbert, except with him, we know he's a parody, but with her, we expect she is real. The arrogance, narcissism, bigotry, and superficiality are all there. I wonder if conservatives have grown tired of her and moved on. Or maybe she's on a break until the next big election.

The part that alarmed me was her statement she'd done speaking engagements at megachurches, which only goes to show that fundamentalist Christeranity and crypto-fascist political philosophy go hand and hand. She's part of the theocratic movement and probably a Dominionist. Nuts.

No self-respecting Muslim would fail to slit her throat if introduced to her. She hates them, in fact refers to them as "swarthy," an insult in Islam. She insults them in every book and on every TV appearance. I suspect the next time we have a prisoner swap, we trade Coulter to the jihadists; torturing her would be so much more satisfying than getting back five old guys who forgot how to hold an AK-47.
